You don't know home until you leave it. With over 200 spectacular images, including astonishing satellite images and stills from the BBC Natural History Unit’s footage, Earth from Space reveals our planet as you’ve never seen it before.For decades we competed to be the first to reach space, but it was when we looked back at Earth that we were truly awestruck. Now, for the first time, using advanced satellite images we can show the earth’s surface, its mega structures, weather patterns and natural wonders in breathtaking detail.From the colours and patterns that make up our planet to the mass migrations and seismic changes that shape it, Earth from Space sheds new light on the planet we call home. It reveals the intimate stories behind the breathtaking images, following herds of elephants crossing the plains of Africa and turtles travelling on ocean currents that are invisible unless seen from space. The true colours of our blue planet are revealed, from the striped tulip fields of Holland to the green swirl of a plankton super bloom that attracts a marine feeding frenzy. Whether it's the world’s largest beaver dam – so remote it was only discovered through satellite imagery – or newly formed islands born from volcanic eruptions, discover a new perspective on our ever-changing planet.

Future Bright

Future Bright

Michael E. Martinez

Oxford University Press Inc

Future Bright introduces a radical idea: Intelligence is learnable. This idea is tremendously important because it means that with the right environment, intelligence levels can be increased intentionally. Intelligence is essential to the survival and prosperity of not only individuals, but also organizations, nations, and the entire planet. Martinez first considers a seemingly simple question. What is intelligence? Examining some of the most fascinating stories in the history of cognitive science reveals the ways our ideas about intelligence have been shaped. Current research asks, "Is intelligence just one thing? Or are there many different ways of being intelligent?" For answers, we turn to the seat of intelligence, the brain. From the search for Einstein's brain to the curious case of a railroad worker whose frontal lobe was pierced by a tamping iron, researchers have sought to understand more about intelligence by understanding more about this mysterious organ. How do physical structures relate to how we think? How are memories made? How do the brain and the mind relate to one another? Finally, Future Bright explores the provocative finding from recent cognitive science research that intelligence can be learned. Genetics play only one part in an individual's intelligence potential. It is that part that is influenced by the environment that is most interesting, however, because if intelligence can be learned, then it can be taught. Future Bright explores ways that the environment and educational contexts can influence the growth of a more intelligent society - one that will lead us into a brighter future indeed.

The winds of change were everywhere and like much of youth in the 60's and 70's, Mark and Sara became swept up in the counterculture as they attended a large university in the Midwest. It was a turbulent time as people throughout the country questioned the institutions and traditions around them. Some also pushed the boundaries of thought, experience, and consciousness. Mark and Sara would not only explore their separate identities within this context, but ultimately find each other while absorbed in the pursuit.With greater immersion in the counterculture, however, came a need to navigate between this foreign new world and one embodied by old friends, family, and significant others-people who could never fully understand the changes that were being wrought. For Mark and Sara, this meant being pulled in opposing directions, maintaining some ties, obstructing others, and trying to remain true to themselves.Bright Colors is a novel which addresses the conflicts and choices which were confronted by many of the people who lived in those times. The story is told against the backdrop of civil rights struggles, war, political scandal, and the richness of the culture. It looks at this period with fresh honesty, offering an unflinching depiction of how this era was lived amid the sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and social change. Yet, the primary focus is on the humanity of the central characters-their strengths & quirks, warmth, humor, and the way they meet the challenges of life. These aren't the cartoonish stereotypes one often sees in a countercultural treatment, but people with real depth and substance. Written by an author who knows the terrain well, Bright Colors has much to say about young relationships, the nature of people, and the lessons of an incredible moment in America. Whether readers want to revisit old times or get a unique and enlightening glimpse of a multifaceted era, this book will provide many hours of thought and entertainment.NOTE: This book contains passages of frank sexuality which are reflective of a young relationship. Those who are easily offended by such detailed material, need to take heed. In all cases, this content is used to support a realistic story and not for gratuitous purposes.
